Crush on Kristi and Saint Anyway at 400 Bar, Minneapolis (04/21/12)

Crush on Kristi and Saint Anyway played at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis, last night, April 21st. Not sure what happened to The Union Suits.

Saint Anyway

Saint Anyway is a bluegrass trio from Cloquet, Minnesota, but I got the feeling that the trio been touring around so much that they are hardly in this state. They played acoustics with banjos and kick drums and kazoos and (several) harmonicas. Their songs are mostly original material like "Supernatural Wine" and "How To Prove You Love Someone" (their fastest song), but mixed with some covers like Tom Waits' "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil" (which they ended their set).

I think the encore was a cover of Old Crow Medicine Show's "Fall On My Knees".

Speaking of covers… since I am the cover lover, I was there for Crush on Kristi. This is basically a cover band, covering more or less indie/obscure bands. I was hoping for more popular songs, but I didn't know any songs from their setlist.

As you can see, they covered The Replacements, Frightened Rabbit, Stars, and Band of Horses (and more, but I didn't know those bands). The bar owner pointed out that eight of those bands all played at the 400 Bar*.

Be sure to check back soon for an exclusive "LOL" interview with Kate from Crush on Kristi.
